Antecedents of Mental Disorder among Physically Inactive Employees Study of Jordanian Higher Education Institutions: Mediated Moderation of Perceived Threat of Covid-19 and Psychological Capital

This study aimed at identifying the antecedents and explaining the unexplored path of mental disorder among the physically inactive individuals. Grounded in social cognitive theory and social exchange theory, this cross sectional field study with convenient sampling examines stress, anxiety, depression, and mental disorder in 377 survey respondents from Jordanian higher education institutions. Additionally, moderating effect of psychological capital and the mediating effect of perceived COVID-19 threat was assessed. Results from Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) indicate that the direct links between stress, anxiety, depression on mental disorder were significant. Further using PLS mediated moderation analysis the moderating effect of psychological capital and mediating effect of perceived COVID-19 threat was proved in Jordanian sample. The study is incremental to suggest future research directions and policy insights for developing countries and specifically these findings are vital for clinical psychologists and practitioners working in Jordanian setting. © 2023,Pakistan Journal of Life and Social Sciences.All Rights Reserved.

Secure E-health Framework in Cloud-Based Environment

Since December 2019, the world still fighting to beat coronavirus (COVID-19). However, coronavirus is continuing its spread in many countries and claimed the lives people. It is not easy to differentiate between COVID-19 symptoms and simple flu symptoms, especially at the first stage of the infection. This is the main challenge where we have to run many tests as possible and isolate any suspicious people 14 days at least to make sure that they are not carrying the virus. This will increase the cost and people may lose their jobs. Therefore, the economy has to continue. Companies and organization start running their business using online tools, this will draw different future and employee need to gain special task to continue their work. In order go back to the normal life, we have track the virus and stay away from infected area or people. In this paper, we propose a secure cloud-based health framework to record patients' readings, give initial diagnose to identify infected areas and control the spread of the virus. The proposed framework will be running in a secure environment to protect patient's records. © 2022 IEEE.
